Advice on tyre/wheel usage
During the first 500 km, new tyres do not offer optimum grip; appropriate care
should therefore be taken when driving.
Tyres with the deeper profiles should always be fitted to the front wheels.
Rims and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We rec-
ommend that you use rims and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Wheels and tyres should always be stored in a cool, dry and dark place. The
tyres themselves should be stored vertically.
Tyre life
Tyres age and lose their original characteristics, even if they are not being
used. We recommend that you do not use tyres that are more than 6 years old.
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre sidewall (possibly on the in-
side ). For example, DOT ... 10 16...means, for example, that the tyre was manu-
factured in the 10. week of 2016.
Tyre damage
We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,
cuts, splits and bulges etc.) on a regular basis.
Remove any foreign objects in the tyre’s profile immediately (e.g. small stones).
Foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed and help should be sought from a specialist garage.
Fitting new tyres
Only fit approved radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and
the same tread pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.
Unidirectional tyres
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre .
The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded. ▶ Driving stability.
▶ Traction.
▶ Tyre noise and tyre wear.WARNING■Never use tyres if you do not know anything about their condition and
age There is a risk of accidents.■
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a specialist
workshop.■
Do not use rims with ground or polished surfaces in winter conditions - there
is a risk of rim damage (e.g through salt spreading).
Note
■ We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
We recommend that you use tyres, snow chains and full wheel trims from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
150General Maintenance

WARNINGAlways properly secure the fire extinguisher - there is a risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking or a vehicle collision.

Vehicle tool kit
The box containing the vehicle tool kit is located in the storage compartment
for the spare wheel, and can be secured with a tape depending on the equip-
ment fitted.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, it may not contain all the compo-
nents listed in the on-board tool kit.

Breakdown kit
123456789WARNING■ The factory-supplied lifting jack is only intended for your model of vehicle.
Under no circumstances attempt to lift other vehicles or loads with it –
there is a risk of injury.■
Always securely stow the tool in the box and make sure that it is secured
to the spare wheel using the tape - Otherwise there is a risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking or a vehicle collision.
CAUTION
Screw the jack back to its starting position prior to putting it back in its box -
There is a risk of damage to the box.
Note
The declaration of conformity is included with the jack or the log folder.
Changing a wheel
Preliminary work
For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before
changing a wheel on the road.
›
Park the vehicle as far as possible away from the traffic flow - choose a place
with a flat and firm surface.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with manual transmission , select 1 gear.
›
For vehicles with automatic transmission , place the selector lever in the P
position.
›
Firmly apply the handbrake.
›
Switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle at the
prescribed distance.
›
Have all the occupants get out . The passengers should not stand on the
road while the wheel is being changed (they should remain behind a crash
barrier, for instance).
›
Uncouple any trailers.

155Emergency equipment and self-help

›Jack up the vehicle
» page 158 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of
the ground.›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“pull- ing crossways”) » page 158.
›
Replace the wheel trim » page 156 and caps » page 157 .
When fitting unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of rotation is cor-
rect » page 150 .
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If screws are corroded and diffi-
cult to move, these must be replaced.
WARNING■ Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn), provided the vehicle
has not yet been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could come loose and fall
off – risk of injury.■
Under no circumstances must the bolts be greased or oiled - cause an ac-
cident.
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure with a locking screw.
›
Stow the vehicle tool kit in the space provided.
›
Check tyre pressure on the mounted wheel and adjust if necessary and, with
vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 123 .
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible.
The prescribed tightening torque is 120 Nm.
Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
WARNINGTightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can
result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where
tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -
There is a risk of an accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a mod-
erate speed until the tightening torque has been checked.
Removing /stowing the spare wheel
Fig. 171
Take out the wheel
The spare wheel is located in a well under the floor covering in the luggage
compartment and is fixed in place with a fastening screw.
Take out the wheel
›
Lift up the floor in the luggage compartment.
›
Unscrew the locking screw in the direction of arrow » Fig. 171 and the remove
the wheel.
›
Remove the box with the tool kit.
Store wheel away
›
Store the box for the vehicle tools in the same place.
›
Place the wheel into the wheel well with the wheel rim pointing downwards.
›
Screw the locking screw against the direction of arrow until it stops » Fig. 171.
›
Fold back the floor in the luggage compartment.
Full wheel trim
Remove trim
›
Hang the clamps for removing the full wheel trims on the edge of the full
wheel trim.
›
Push the wheel wrench through the clamp, support on the tyre and pull off
the wheel trim. 
156Do-it-yourself

Install trim›Press the wheel trim onto the wheel rim at the designated valve opening.›
Then press the trim into the wheel rim until its entire circumference locks
correctly in place.
The position of the anti-theft wheel bolt is indicated by means of a symbol on
the back of the wheel trim supplied ex-factory or from the ŠKODA Original Ac-
cessories. If using the anti-theft wheel bolt it should be fitted at this point
»
.
WARNINGIf wheel trims are fitted, an adequate flow of air must be assured in order
to cool the brake system - otherwise there is a risk of an accident.
CAUTION
■ If the wheel trim is positioned outside the position marked for the anti-theft
wheel bolt, there is a risk of damaging the wheel cover.■
Only use manual pressure and do not hit the full wheel trim – there is a risk
of damaging the trim.
Note
We recommend that you use wheel trims from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

Attach lifting jack
Before the vehicle is raised, please take note of the safety instructions »
.
Use the jack from the tool kit to raise the vehicle. Position the car jack at the
jacking point closest to the flat tyre.
The runner connectors for the jack are located directly below the marking on
the lower loading edge of the vehicle » Fig. 175.

point » Fig. 176 -
 .
›
Raise the vehicle until the wheel is a little off the floor.
WARNINGThe following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is risk of in-
jury.■
Ensure the vehicle cannot unexpectedly roll away.
■
Always ensure the base plate of the lifting jack cannot slip.
■ Place a wide and stable base material under the jack if on a loose surfa-
ces (e.g. gravel).
■ Place an anti-slip base material (e.g. a rubber mat) under the jack if on a
smooth surface (e.g. cobblestones).
■
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
